This year, TIME asked prominent individuals, including previous Persons of the Year, whom they would choose.
Bill and Melinda Gates chose Jimmy Carter, who was Person of the Year 30 years ago. They feel that since then, Carter has done great work in waging peace, fighting disease and building hope.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa chooses Alexander Milinkevich, the Belarussian opposition leader who was defeated in his run for the presidency this year allegedly because of government fraud.
And Arianna Huffington, editor of the Huffington Post and recognized as one of the TIME 100 this year, nominates Representative John Murtha. She said he should be Person of the Year because he told the truth to the American people about the Iraq war and helped make it the central issue in the 2006 campaign.
Captain James Lovell, one of three astronauts on Apollo 8, the first manned mission to orbit the moon, chose Kim Jong Il, the controversial leader of the rogue state of North Korea. Lovell said that his continued defiance of the global community in the area of nuclear testing and his utter disregard for world opinion definitely put him in the category of Person of the Year.
